EXCELLENT FACE-WASH.
An excellent Wiish for the skin, -which
will soften it to the softness of velvet, is
made after the following rule: Two

ON SERVING GREEN* PEAR.
Every good housekeeper delights in
having her tabic look as dainty and attractive
as possible. And here is a hint
how to prepare green vegetables, especially
green peas. When you cook
the vegetables put them in an uncovered
dish, and keep them uncovered all the
time they are cooking. If you see to it
that your cook prepares the green peas
in this way, you will have them served
looking as green and fresh as whentbey
were first picked from the vines.
A SCOTCH WAT OF WASHING.
Here are some Scotch directions for
washing underclothes and stockings.
These articles should be washed with
tepid water and boiled soap, and the
lather worked up quire light before they
are put in. They snouid never be rubbed
or allowed to soak in the water, but
should be simply drawn through the
hand. Each article should be entirely
Ullisueu wusuilijj uuu piuuiug up iu uij
before the next is made wet, and in every
instance they should be quickly washed
ard dried, the soap beiDg rinsed out in
cold water. Socks and hose require
wooden boards to prevent them shrinking
while wet. These should be inserted
while the articles are wet, and left in
until they are perfectly dry. Any carpenter
can make these stocking-boards
of the required size.?JSew York World.
"WASTE NOT.
It is a sad fact that there is, perhaps,
more extravagance in bread?the real
staff of life?than in any other article.
Pisces are thrown away, crumbs shaken
into the fireplace, and crusts or "heels"
of loaves allowed to get stale; wherea3
the careful housekeeper has a large dish
an the top shelf of her pantry, in which
every scrap and crumb of bread left unconsumed
is placed. Once a week
regularly these are dried?not browned
?in the oven, then crashed on the pasteboard
or pounded in a mortar, siftei
through a wire sieve, and stored in an
earthen jar. Not only are these breadcrumbs
useful for making soles or cutlets,
or for frying, but, soaked for some time
in milk, they make the foundation of
many sweet puddings, which are both
nutritious and economical, and of which

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AM) GARDEN.
CALVES DRINKING TOO FAST.
So long as the calf sucks its dam it ,
gets milk slowly, and the action of lips (
| and jaws mixes it thoroughly with the
Baliva, thus enabling the stomach to digest
it easily. "When the calf comes to
be fed from a pail it is usually encouiaged
to drink as rapidly as possible, i
"When it learns to drink fast, even a cold
mess does not readily stop it if hungry.
Cold feed is the most usual cause of
scours in calves, and scours not only (
causes temporary loss of flesh, but seriously
injure the digestive organs, on
which the future usefulness of the animal
depends.?Botton Cultivator.
BRITTLE HOOFS.
Dry weather is a cause of the brittle- ,
ness of the hoofs, but this may be caused
as well by an inflammatory condition of ?
the system. The inner part of a horse's
hoof is exceedingly tender and sensitive, i
and sympathizes immediately with any i
diseased condition of the animal. The
horn contains a large quantity of water, i
and this is driven off when the foot is in i
a feverish state, thus causing the brittle- i
ness. First, this condition is to be
changed by cooling mediciDe. Give a
pound of epsom salts, which is better
than oil in this case. Repeat if necessary.
Give cooling, laxative food, and
keep the system in an open condition.
To run on a damp pasture will be useful.
The shoes should be removed and
the hoofs pared, and when the horse is
I in the stable the feet should be kept in
| linseed poultice. The fro# mu9t not be
I pared at anj time.?New York Times.
CREAM RAISING.
By far the greater proportion of butter
is still made from cream, raised by setting
the milk. There is always some
loss, and generally a good deal of loss,
in raisiDg by gravity process. Ice water
will, however, enable the skillful dairyman
to beat the careless hand with the
separator. Cornell University, in New
York, experimented to ascertain which
method gave best results. Bulletin No.
30 says: "Where the milk was set in
the Cooley creamer with ice water at a
temperature of forty-four decrees, the ;
average per cent, of fat in the skim milk
was .23; where milk was diluted with
an equal weight of cold tvater and set in
the open air, the average per cent, of fat j
in the skim milk was 1.38; where milk
was diluted with twenty and fifty per ,
cent, of cold water,the average per cent,
ot fat in the skim milk was 1.21: where
milk was diluted with ten to 100 per 1
cent, of its weight of hot water, the
average per cent, of fat in the skim milk <
was 1.11; where milk was set in deep
cans without dilution, in running water
at sixty to sixty-three degrees, the average
per cent, of fat in the skim milk was
.89; where milk was set in shallow cans,
at sixty and sixty-four degrees,the averernge
per cent, of fat in the skim milk
was .48; where milk was set in shallow
pans and one-third of its weight of water
at 120 degrees added, the per cent, of

; IMPROVED EMULSION.
Last year, writes Professor A. J. Cook,
| the Arkansas Experiment Station recommended
a modified kerosene emulsioD,
found superior to the usual kind. A
kerosene extract of pyrethrum made by
filtering one gallon kerosene through ,
two pouuds of the powder is used instead |
of the pure kerosene. Dissolve one ,
quart softsoap or one pound hard soap
in two quarts 01 water. wmie scm not
add one pint of the kerosene extract of '
pyrethrum, and violently agitate till a
perfect emulsion is formed; properly
done, the material will look like cream
and the# oil will never separate on stand- 1
ing, even though diluted. To emulsify, '
we must agitate the mixture violently. !
This is best dene by pumping back into
the liquid?easily done with a cheap 1
dollar pump; cannot be done by stirring. 1
This is more powerful than the simple i
kerosene emulsion and is safe on all
foliage when diluted to a one-twelfth (
mixture, while one-fifteenth mixture is 1
as strong as is safe to use in case of the ,
regular kerosene mixture. We diluted
the softsoap emulsion by adding as much
water, aud the bardsoap by adding twice j
as much water as we took of the emulsion.
This season currants, hollyhocks,
potatoes and many other plants have
been greatly injured by species of bugs
sucking their juices. The pyrethro
emulsion has served to. kill the bugs
without injury to the plauts.?New York
Tribune.
CARE OK COWS UI WINTER.
"Where farmers have not already comfortable
quarters provided for the winter
accommodation of their animals, it is
not too early to begin pieparing for
them. The horses are almost certain to
have the best, and as far as the sheep are
concerned, if they have dry shelter the
, fleece affords a good protection against
cold. Cattle are the animals that are
usually expesed, and in the case of cows
giving milk, it is not enough that they
are within doors during storms, but they
require a comparatively warm temperature
in winter are they arc to be
profitable for their milk. Nothiog will
sooner cause a shrinkage in the flow of
milk than to leave a cow shivering in a
cold storm without protection, and the
effect of stabling her in a building so
open that she is constantly exposed to
draughts of cold air is almost as bad.
The winter cow-stable should be tight
enough to prevent the eutrance of cold
air through cracks, doors and wiudows,
on a level with the animals, so freely as
to chill them or to make them uncomfortable,
and at the same time it should
be so constructed that there will be good
ventilation. This can be provided for
by a small cupola at the top and a few
lonir, shallow openings under the projecting
eaves. Thrr ugh these the vitiated
warm air brc;i Led jy the animals
can escape, and at the same time sufficient
cold air will enter from the outside
and slowly descend without producing
a dn:ujht through the lower part
of the stable.
Attached to the cow stable there ought
to be a covered shed facing south, with
at least one side and end open, where
the dairy cows may stand for a short
time duriDg the winter sunshine of mild
days. At all other times in cold weather
they will be better off when confined in
Clean, closed quarters. Too much attention
cannot be given to cleanliness in
the cow Btatle, for the newly drawn milk
will quickly absorb odcrs.?New T&rb

VERMIN ON THE FOWLS.
The real amount of damage done by
lice aud parasites generally ou poultry is
not commonly known. With nine-tenth9
of the people, whenever a fowl dies, it^is
said to be from cholera, whereas the true
cause at the bottom is much more likely
to be vermin or roup. Thousands of
fowls are dwarfed and killed by the
vermin which infest their bodies and
houses, espicially in summer - time.
There are parasites of all sizes and colors,
that are continually sapping out the very
life from the fowls, and making them so
weak that they are easily victims to all
diseases. Your fowls drop off, one by
r>ne, and you wonder what's the matter.
Reader, if you have a poultry-house,
there are probably thousands of vermin
swarming in it now. Some are so small
and ot such color that it is hard to see
them. Shake one of the fowls over the
sleeve of your white shirt, and look well
for the result. You need not expect the
chick to grow fast, nor the older ones to
give good returns in eggs, while there
are lice about. Now, to kill these pests
and to prevent them, clean the house
well, take whitewash (to which may be
added, if bandy, a little carbolic acid;,
arid apply thoroughly to the roosts, nests,
cracks, etc.,and if you do the work well
you have got them. After this, once a
? All An iVtn nrtlofi "Jiiof

before the fowls go to roost. Three or
four times a year fumigate the house
with burning sulphur and resin while
the fowls are outside. Branches of
cedar tree in the house, or carbolic
powder kept scattered around on the
door or in the nests, or tobacco etem9
and leaves used the same way, are excellent
preventives.
Vermin do not like the smell of cedar,
and generally keep away from it. Oil it
death to them. But do not put too
much coal oil on a mother hen, for it
will kill the chicks that brood under her,
as well as kill the vermin. No one can
estimate the damage they do. Give the
house a good dose of whitewash now,
before you forget it, and oil the poles
weekly, and it will pay you big.?

FARM AND GARDEN NOTE9.
No man is too old to plant a tree.
Make a fruit orchard of your poultry
yard.
A warm barn saves a lot of feed each

food for hens.

Cooked wheat bran furnishes bone material
for young chicks.
Portable fences are becoming more
and more a desideratum.
Castor beans and all oily plants are
easily spoiled by wetting.
A sagging gate and a door that sticks
cost mure to use than they do to fix.
There is as much in the proper curing
and handling of hay as there is in the
kind.
Economy is no relative of stinginess,
though some people seem to think them
brothers.
A good pasture is a valuable ally to the
hay stack. All that are fenced are not
pastures, however.
When pigeons are kept in small yards
care must be taken to keep an even number.
An odd male will cause continual
trouble.
Young geese that have not yet completed
their growth should be fed iiberilly
from now on until they are ready to
market.
Cabbage make3 a good green poultry
feed for winter. All the small unmarketable
heads should be gathered up and
stored away.
Giving the turkeys and ducks a good
feed of corn regularly when they come
home at night will b3 a strong inducement
to keep them coming.
Egg-bouncTliens or persistent cases of
croup rarely pay for the trouble required
to cure. The hatchet in a majority of
cases is the cheapest remedy.
If a Western farm can afford to build
an irrigating ditch five or six miles long,
can an Eastern farmer afford not to
ditch his rich, boggy meadow?
It is not a good plan to keep pullets
and old hens, fat and lean hens all together.
They do not require the same
food and will do better separate.
Speculation is as dangerous to the farmer
as it is to the city man. Getting
into debt to buy more land or more implements
is generally speculation.
It is a variety of food rather than large
quantity that fowls require. More care
is necessary in this respect when they are
confined than when given a good range.
If aDy farmers have gathered a sborfc
hay crop,there is yet time to supplement
the pasture by a little "soiling" corn or
millet. Be vigilant, however, or it may
be too late.
The best shade for a cow in fly time is
the shade of a nice clean stable. Give a
cow the chance to go into a stable when
she pleases and she will soon show her
ideas as to comfort and flics.
Before the winter sets in it would be
well for the farmers to consider the annual
loss from leaving the corn fodder
in the fields. It is an odd custom, but
it entails a heavy waste and loss.
A horse" that is subject to lamene33 in
one neighborhood may escape that difficulty
in another section. Tender feet
may impair the usefulness of an animal
on h^rd stony ground, but on sandy locations
the feet may not be so easily injured.
Street car horses when taken to
the farms often proven valuable and entirely
recover from lameness.
The best fruit tree to grow, on the
lawn is probably the cherry. When
well established it does well in grass,
though it is best to mow the grass as
ofteu as once a week. A closely ;ihaven
lawn does not drain the soil of moisture
as when grass is allowed to mature. An
abundance of well decomposed manure
is important-for the highte3t success.
One objection to the matted row system
of growing strawberries the drain
on the soil for moisture in a dry season.
The matted row system wi'?l never produce
strawberries equal tO' those grown
in hills. On the hill system several
crops can be grown, in the other only
about one, while the v/ork of plowing
up and replanting counts heavily against
the plan. * ,

Most Powerful of Explosives.
Experiments with the new explosive,

members of the commission leaving
afterward for Ergv to draw up its report,
which is being kept a secret. The
trials were made with a view to ascertain
the capabilities of the explosive: first,
when underground; second, when exploded

and third, when compared with other explosives.
From all these trials it appears that
"fortis" is a striking success, really

In illustration of its power it may bo
stated that a cavity thirteen feet deep
having been drilled into solid rock and

carefully cut out of the damask, aud a

A few weeks afterward Meisonier again s
breakfasted with his patron and found
jy the side of his place at the corner of

jenknife and some india rubber. f
"While the guests at the conclusion of 1!

He had made disasterously good use ^

California's Olire Industry. ?
"The olive industry is just now one of
ntense interest to all farmers cf South:rn
California," said James C. Bangs, of
San Bernardino, Cal., at the Windsor
Elotel. "The small fruit business, espe- {
lially grape growing, is being overdone ?
:n the opinion of many of our brainiest
nen. In looking around for something j
to pay equally well, which at the same ^
time would not be so subject to a crowded
market and need peculiar methods of ^
transportation, we found the olive. You ?
know on the coast of the Mediterranean
the olive tree requires fourteen years of
growth to bear fruit. By a method acdentally
discovered we in California can
grow trees so that they will bear in six
years. How? Why, we cut off a twig
about as thick as your little linger some
twenty or twenty-five inches long and
simply stick it in the ground. The way .
it sprouts is simply wonderful and we
promptly cut off all but one, the best
6hoot. The fruit is crushed so that the
meat is taken off, but the stone is not
crushed. This meat is put in a press and
the juice from it is composed of water
and oil. The oil is taken up by absorbent
cotton and then squeezed and refined,
put into bottles and on the mar
ket. The profits are said to be large,
and judging by what I have seen I should
say there was a comfortable living in
olive growing."?New York Telegram.

A Black Opal.
There is au opal which comes from ,
Australia which is almost black, from !
vhich tongues of fire shoot out from unixpected
points and give the stone alaost
the effect of being in combustion,
t is not as expensive as the prccious
pal, which comes chiefly from Hungary.
The Australian stone is found in veins of
torphyry placed in layers with its marix.
It is often cut "en cameo"-when thus
ound. A specimen of such a cameo exlibited
by a well-known jeweler repreents
the head of a warrior, whose hel- I,
net is of the most brilliant opalescent
olors, while the face is sott ivory-white,
nd the whole is thrown against a background
